SG: Whatever ED recovers is not for its personal... ... ED v. Mamata Banerjee Over I-PAC Raid : Live Updates From Supreme Court Hearing
SG: Whatever ED recovers is not for its personal purposes. This is something very rare. CJ was aware that matter could not be heard. Let me satisfy on maintainability. S.8 of PMLA...it's just not a mere organ of govt. We exist for this purpose...we attach property, take in possession...who is the ultimate beneficiary? Victim gets benefit of laundered money. Special Court can direct restoration of property to claimant who may have suffered. I represent those victims. ED has so far collected more than 30,000 crores, which are given to victims of the crime. We are not just an organization. We represent the victims interest. Petitioner No.2 is an individual. 3 FIRs filed against us by CM, police. That we did something illegal, browbeated...based on that FIR, they removed CCTV
J Mishra: For what you went there? What was under investigation?
SG: They say we went to collect SIR data. A fool will not go there to collect SIR data, which is available on website!
